In our rejoinder, we argue 1) Dark terminology isn't used responsibly as BL et al. claim, 2) the term can be replaced with a more sensible and scientific one, 3) data support our position (Stanton et al., 2025), and 4) popularity ≠ importance. @davidchester.bsky.social @drlynam.bsky.social

Very excited to see this out from @hitop-system.bsky.social! It really seems like these are two literatures poised to advance each other. Looking forward to reading this with my lab.

We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

Trump is an absolute evil sack of shit who is decimating higher education in this country. If you’ve said out loud that you’re grateful that your work isn’t being targeted by the current administration, super cringe, and maybe also don’t hold your breath.

New from Manish Saggar: A data-driven latent variable approach to validating the research domain criteria framework www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@talyarkoni.com While this is somewhat historically accurate take on personality psychology, it is a mischaracterization of the field that exists today. I say this having just finished a preliminary list of readings for my grad seminar in personality psychology @dingdingpeng.the100.ci 1/

In an effort led by the wonderful Lauren Luther, we find that a 3-factor model of the Defeatest Performance Belief Scale (Overvaluing Success, Overvaluing Failure, and Overvaluing Social Evaluation) is the best psychometric fit for schizophrenia and CHR samples! Very cool stuff, come check it out!

Do you ever wonder whether the work you do matters? Like whether anyone needs to hear what you have to say? I do. A 🧵 Funny thing happened to me this week. I was giving a talk where I reviewed my work. I started with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP). 1/
